when you get out in space like a tackle, you get out of in space where the officials can see you, you wrap your arms around both shoulders like that, you're going to get that call. >> al: first and 20. manning to the end zone, and out in front, and does he get in? yes, touchdown for manningham. mario manningham feeding the coverage getting behind the corner, did he get his feet in? that is the question, with possession. >> cris: no. >> al: right foot, left foot right on the edge. >> cris: i don't think so. i thought the toe was --

>> al: yeah. and andy reid can challenge, since we're still outside of two minutes. >> cris: how many plays have we seen with mario manningham this year just not being able to manipulate on that -- >> referee: philadelphia has challenged the previous play, completed catch and a score versus incomplete. we'll review the play. >> al: john parry will take a look. it probably will be overturned.

>> al: mario manningham on the bench, with a guy with a look who knows it's going to get overturned. you can see the toe comes down on the white, possession there, one foot in, and just by that much. >> cris: and, al, you have to give manningham credit for getting open in a clutch situation, but he needs help, an intervention on this route

running, tom coughlin is probably going to give it to him. >> referee: the player with possession only got one foot in bounds. therefore it's an incomplete pass, philadelphia is not charged with a team time-out. however, that is their second challenge. therefore they have no challenges remaining. second down. >> al: only 21 seconds they could challenge anything. instead of a touchdown, it's noun second down and 20. >> cris: manningham just continuing to go to the outside. he's got him beat clearly, but you have to try, when a guy has that sort of technique, force them back to the inside. that should have been a no-brainer touchdown. it's just a technique thing that he's been doing not only all night tonight, but also doing earlier this season as well.

there's two touchdowns that should have been for marion manningham. you. >> al: second down and 20, from the 28 yard line. manning to the outside this time. manningham makes that catch. and it is sheldon brown. the clock is still running, because this time -- of all things, he's out of bounds and then can't get out of bounds. >> cris: really the eagles bench got them to change that call. >> al: that takes us to the two-minute warning. now he's making sure to stay inbounds instead of stopping the clock.

>> al: two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. it's third down and 11 for new

york at the philadelphia 19 yard line. there's every emotion on the sidelines tonight. offsides, philadelphia, incomplete. giants get a free play here. steve smith the intended receiver here. >> cris: that was brilliant by eli. not only did he get him to show the blitz. >> referee: offsides, defense 58, in the neutral zone at the snap. five-yard penalty, replay. >> al: trent cole jumping. that makes it third down and six. >> cris: good stuff by eli.

>> al: manning over the middle. that will make it a first down and goal as steve smith corrals it at the 4 yard line. seven catches for him tonight. down to 501 yards of total offense. now make it 505 on the touchdown to kevin boss. so the giants deny the touchdown on the challenge with manningham out of bounds, get one anyway. but it costs them some time, and there are 91 seconds to play. >> cris: they pay so much attention to steve smith coming in there off the slot, they completely leave kevin boss all by himself. steve smith just outside there in the slot, and two guys jump him and nobody jumps kevin boss. >> al: tynes with the extra point.

eli tying his career high for passing yards. same figure he ran up against atlanta last month. "the tonight show" this week, wanda sykes will be there, jimmy fallon will have kate hudson and jude law. late night this week on nbc. columbus circle in manhattan. post-game show coming up right after the game. bob and tony, the wendy's postgame report, andrea will have an interview, cris and i will have the final word, as if we hadn't had enough words to this point tonight. >> cris: well, you never know, we may get a little overtime. there's no reason for this to end. this has been fun. an on-side kick, with two time-outs left, it's conceivable you could kick it deep, but i think the percentage play here

is onsides. >> al: absolutely. your defense can't stop them. >> cris: right. you know, there is the possibility of getting ten guys up around that 40 yards line, you could try to drop it in over their heads and hope for some wild scramble of a loose ball. desean jackson about on the 30 or so. there is space. >> al: the eagles with the other ten guys all between the 40 and the 46. it's bounded to the right side, and then takes one big hop and winds up going over bounds. >> referee: the ball will be placed at the spot where it went out of bounds. first and ten, philadelphia. >> cris: that's a rule change. in years past, that would have been rekicked for some weird reason.

i never could figure that one out, but they've changed that rule. now you have one shot and the eagles have the ball. >> al: you were rewarded for attempting it in kicking it out of bounds. the committee got together and said, no way. what the giants need now is a reverse joe pisarcik. >> cris: you do have the two time-outs. conceivably you could get the ball back. >> al: the ball is at the 44 yard line, 1:31. the giants take an immediate time-out. as that play takes only four seconds. of course, we were talking about one of the great moments in eagle history, one of the infamous moments in giants history. they try to run the clock out, and then herman edwards winds up

going into the end zone. that propelled the eagles to their first playoff appearance. at the end of that season they wount up for the postseason for the first time in 18 years. the giants were a horrible team at that point and became even more horrible. >> cris: you get bon us points, though, if you could name the fullback on that play. larry czonka? >> al: the giants will spend their final time-out as the eagles come up to the line next to the third down and nine. division standings in the eagles trying to move into undisputed possession of first place here with dallas losing earlier today at home.

against san diego. and for the eagles, they go home for the next two games against the 49ers in denver, and then they'll end their season at dallas. cowboys go to new orleans next week, then the giants go to washington next week, carolina here, and then to minnesota for a game that's very interesting in terms of where minnesota is at that point. >> cris: right, they may not play their starters in that one. they may have whatever they can clinch clinched at that point. >> al: right. third and nine, from the 43. to the outside. the giants defense does its job. they'll take all of the time off the clock that they can, since the giants can't stop it. >> cris: 30-plus seconds, something like that will be on the clock here after this punt. interesting they obviously chose to keep that clock running with

the run play and not put the ball in donovan mcnabb's hands, which is the right play on a night like this, where there have been points scored all over. >> al: they can take a time-out or the penalty doesn't hurt them very much at this point, a punt from the plus side of the field. they choose to take the time-out. if you ever have a punt blocked in the book, this is the time to use it. 122 plays tonight, 880 yards of offense. 7.2 average for each team per play. >> cris: really, the difference in the game has been the punt return and fumble recovery returned for a touchdown by sheldon brown. offensively you would have to say the giants have been at least even, if not maybe a little better.

>> al: 5505 for the giants. rocka to kick. they're going to call for the fair catch and mae it any 9. then a flag comes in from midfield after the play. >> referee: after the play, personal foul, unnecessary roughness, number 41 on the receiving team. that penalty will be enforced. half the distance, first and ten. >> al: c.c. brown. that will cost them 4 1/2 more yards, half the distance, and there make the giants have to go

95 yards in 28 seconds. >> cris: really your goal is to get to hail mary range, somewhere around midfield, if you can possibly do that. the possibility of a screen, you never know what you might dream up in this situation. >> al: wide left. manningham live to the right, coming out of the slot on the left, and eli almost gets sacked in the end zone, and then it's throw to boss and boss steps out of the bounds at the 12 yard line. the game was almost over right there, as eli was able to get it away, but that took nine seconds and there's 19 left. >> cris: he's not even looking this way, and knew exactly where boss was. that's pretty remarkable, and completes the pass. you almost have to go mail mary to have a chance. then you have to get out of

bounds. >> al: and then loses the ball. that will be ruled as a fumble. that's write a finish to this one. joselio hanson winds up with the football. >> cris: uh-oh now we might get some fines, suspensions. there were punches thrown at the tail end. and for the eagles, you have a huge win. you don't need that. i know who i thought it was, but i'm going to hold on to make sure. >> al: if it's not, you'll pay

his fine. >> cris: here as the fumble, no doubt about that one. game over, go to the sideline, forget about it. i think it's trent cole that comes in from the back. >> referee: after the play, personal foul, number 16 new york, taking a helmet off a player. that penalty will be assessed, half the distance, first down philadelphia. >> cris: trust me, that won't be the only things that comes out of that skirmish. i think shaun o'hara is you didn't see the two punches that led to that? were you really watching? >> al: should have sent him to a neutral corner. >> cris: for the giants, though, they know they had a chance here tonight. >> al: a golden opportunity, but the giants after starting the season 5-0 are now going to drop their sixth game. >> referee: they will offset at
